Descripción del empleo

Our client, a market-leading business operating at the forefront of its sector, is seeking an exceptional Managing Director to take full ownership of a high-growth, innovative product line and lead it into its next phase of development.

Backed by entrepreneurial shareholders and supported by a successful wider group, the business combines an innovative, differentiated product portfolio with significant market opportunity. The ambition is to accelerate growth, scale the operation, and establish the product line as a benchmark for innovation within its market - with the potential to disrupt the wider sector.

This is a high-profile, entrepreneurial leadership role for a commercially astute and operationally credible executive who can run the division as a business within a business, owning its strategy, P&L and day-to-day delivery, while leveraging the scale, manufacturing capability and brand strength of the wider group.

Reporting to the Group CEO, with a dotted-line relationship to the Chairman, the Managing Director will have full P&L accountability and overall responsibility for:

• Setting and executing the long-term strategy for the product line
• Driving profitable revenue growth and developing new markets, channels, partnerships and opportunities
• Leading product innovation and maintaining a strong technical and intellectual property position
• Developing and evolving the go-to-market strategy
• Building the investment case and leading the operational scaling of the division
• Owning the business plan, budget and financial performance, with accountability for revenue, EBITDA and cash
• Driving operational excellence across manufacturing, engineering, supply chain, logistics and quality
• Further developing manufacturing capability, technology and infrastructure to support growth
• Building, inspiring and developing a high-performing, accountable team
• Strengthening relationships with customers, trade and installer partners, suppliers and industry stakeholders
• Acting as an influential ambassador for the product and business within the wider market

The Ideal Candidate

We are seeking an accomplished Managing Director, General Manager or senior P&L leader with a demonstrable track record of scaling a product, division or business and delivering profitable growth.

You are likely to bring:

• Strong commercial judgement, financial discipline and data-led decision making
• The gravitas and communication skills to influence senior stakeholders and inspire teams
• An entrepreneurial mindset, balanced with the discipline required to operate within a successful wider organisation
• High levels of integrity, resilience, energy and personal ownership

Degree-level education or equivalent professional experience is expected; an MBA or relevant postgraduate qualification would be advantageous but is not essential.

Why This Role?

This represents one of the most exciting leadership opportunities currently available in the sector. You will have the autonomy to run a significant product line as a business within a business, with genuine P&L ownership, entrepreneurial backing and the support of an established parent organisation. For the right individual, this is an opportunity to take an already successful and differentiated proposition and shape its next chapter of growth — potentially redefining the market in the process.
